Originally from Madagascar, Euphorbia neobosseri is a small branched shrublet up to 25 cm high, with waxy slender stems heavily armed with waxy bone-colored thorns. In the upper regions of the stem, it produces grass-like leaves, up to 5 cm long and about 4 mm in width, giving the plant a most unusual appearance. It is similar in appearance to an Alluaudia or Didierea. The inflorescence is fairly short, usually bearing two to four flowers (cyathia) with five glossy yellow-orange nectar glands round which are two green cyathophylls tapering away to a curly tip, adding to the weirdness of the plant's appearance.

It came well packed and in great condition as usual. It's very healthy and I'm looking forward to seeing it bloom.

This one I've desired for some time, since I saw a large specimen on display at our local botanic gardens.
I'm really happy with this beautiful plant!! Adds the much-needed greenery to my place.
The package arrived in perfect condition!
